I had an 87 Vanagon Westfalia with a pop top - it was eff'n awesome! I don't believe there is another vehicle made that can fit so much into such a small space (15 ft long). Room for 4 people to cook, eat, sleep, relax, etc. I hauled boulders for my garden landscaping project, and lumber, and even drove to Alaska and up the haul road to the Arctic Circle. After 10,000 miles of rough roads it still steered straight as an arrow. And that was with 215,000 miles on the odometer. Very reliable with the exception of the head gaskets which start to leak after 80-100K - easily solved with a Subaru or VW inline 4 transplant. I miss it and may have to get another one.
